Why vote?

Check out our toolkit, Your Vote Counts: A Self-Advocate’s Guide to Voting in the U.S.

 

Voting is one of our most important rights. Laws affect our lives, and voting lets us have a say in what laws are made. This is important for people with disabilities! Voting is a way to speak up for ourselves and fight for laws we believe in.

Voting lets us have a say about who is in charge of the government. We can pick people who we agree with, and then they will help pass laws that we agree with.

It matters who you think should be in charge and what you think about laws. Voting is just as important for people with disabilities as it is for everyone else.
